In common usage, a hacker is a person who breaks into computers and
computer networks, either for profit or motivated by the challenge. The
subculture that has evolved around hackers is often referred to as the
computer underground but is now an open community.
Other uses of the word hacker exist that are not related to computer
security (computer programmer and home computer hobbyists), but these are
rarely used by the mainstream media because of the common stereotype that
is in TV and movies. Before the media described the person who breaks into
computers as a hacker there was a hacker community. This group was a
community of people who had a large interest in computer programming,
often sharing, without restrictions, the source code for the software they
wrote. These people now refer to the cyber-criminal hackers as "crackers"
Problem solving and online hacking weblog and an online community of
online hackers and librarians.
